Several hot button bills are scheduled to be in the spotlight this week

A Missouri House committee is set to consider two gun bills on Tuesday. 

One would exempt state and local sales taxes on firearms and ammunition sold in Missouri. 

The other bill would allow concealed guns on public transportation and would lower the age requirement from at least 19 to 18 years of age or older for concealed carry permits. 

The Missouri House Veterans Committee will consider a bill Tuesday that would task the Missouri Veterans Commission with expanding its work to prevent veteran suicide. 

A tax credit package that is intended to boost childcare access statewide will make its way to a House committee Wednesday.
